An improper neutralization of active SVG content in OTRS or ((OTRS)) Community Edition ticket article rendering allows attackers to inject specially crafted SVG payloads via email content, leading to browser-side resource exhaustion and denial of service when affected tickets are opened by an agent or customer. The issue can be exploited without JavaScript execution and is not mitigated by the configured Content Security Policy (CSP).
This issue affects OTRS:
* 7.0.X
* 8.0.X
* 2023.X
* 2024.X
* 2025.X
* 2026.X before 2026.4.X
Please note that ((OTRS)) Community Edition 6.x and before are vulnerable. Products based on the ((OTRS)) Community Edition also very likely to be affected
An improper neutralization of user-controllable input in OTRS or ((OTRS)) Community Edition ticket handling allows authenticated attackers to perform reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via crafted request parameters associated with ticket actions. By injecting malicious JavaScript into manipulated request URLs, attackers can execute arbitrary script code in the context of an authenticated agent session when the crafted link is opened.
This issue affects OTRS:
* 7.0.x
Please note that ((OTRS)) Community Edition 6.x and before are vulnerable. Products based on the ((OTRS)) Community Edition also very likely to be affected
An uncontrolled allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the e-mail handling in OTRS allows excessive allocation which may lead to the abortion of the webserver.This issue affects OTRS:
* 8.0.X
* 2023.X
* 2024.X
* 2025.X
* 2026.X before 2026.4.X
Please note that ((OTRS)) Community Edition 6.x, OTRS 7.x and products based on the ((OTRS)) Community Edition also very likely to be affected
An improper Input Validation vulnerability in OTRS or ((OTRS)) Community Edition database layer module allows an unauthenticated SQL injection which can lead to an authentication bypass. This issue only affects the system if the MySQL/MariaDB server is configured with the NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES SQL mode.
This issue affects OTRS:
* 7.0.X
* 8.0.X
* 2023.X
* 2024.X
* 2025.X
* 2026.X before 2026.4.X
* (OTRS)) Community Edition: 6.0.x
Products based on the ((OTRS)) Community Edition also very likely to be affected
The functions to fetch e-mail via POP3 or IMAP as well as sending e-mail via SMTP use OpenSSL for static SSL or TLS based communication. As the
SSL_get_verify_result() function is not used the certificated is trusted always and it can not be ensured that the certificate
satisfies all necessary security requirements.
This could allow an
attacker to use an invalid certificate to claim to be a trusted host,
use expired certificates, or conduct other attacks that could be
detected if the certificate is properly validated.
This issue affects OTRS: from 7.0.X before 7.0.47, from 8.0.X before 8.0.37; ((OTRS)) Community Edition: from 6.0.X through 6.0.34.
An attacker who is logged into OTRS as an user with privileges to create and change customer user data may manipulate the CustomerID field to execute JavaScript code that runs
immediatly after the data is saved.The issue onlyoccurs if the configuration for AdminCustomerUser::UseAutoComplete was changed before.
This issue affects OTRS: from 7.0.X before 7.0.47, from 8.0.X before 8.0.37; ((OTRS)) Community Edition: from 6.0.X through 6.0.34.
The loading of external images is not blocked, even if configured, if the attacker uses protocol-relative URL in the payload. This can be used to retreive the IP of the user.This issue affects OTRS: from 7.0.X before 7.0.47, from 8.0.X before 8.0.37; ((OTRS)) Community Edition: from 6.0.X through 6.0.34.
An issue was discovered in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) 6.0.x before 6.0.12. An attacker could send an e-mail message with a malicious link to an OTRS system or an agent. If a logged-in agent opens this link, it could cause the execution of JavaScript in the context of OTRS.
An attacker who is logged into OTRS as an admin user may manipulate customer URL field to store JavaScript code to be run later by any other agent when clicking the customer URL link. Then the stored JavaScript is executed in the context of OTRS. The same issue applies for the usage of external data sources e.g. database or ldap
